GeForce GT 130 vs Geforce GTX 760

Intro

Compare all that to the Geforce GTX 760, which has a GPU core clock speed of 980 MHz, and 2048 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1502 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 1152 SPUs, 96 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.

GeForce GT 130		75 Watts
Geforce GTX 760		170 Watts
	Difference: 95 Watts (127%)

Memory Bandwidth

Theoretically, the Geforce GTX 760 should perform a lot faster than the GeForce GT 130 overall. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		192256 MB/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 MB/sec
	Difference: 180256 (1502%)

Texel Rate

The Geforce GTX 760 should be quite a bit (about 684%) better at texture filtering than the GeForce GT 130. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		94080 Mtexels/sec
GeForce GT 130		12000 Mtexels/sec
	Difference: 82080 (684%)

Pixel Rate

If running with a high resolution is important to you, then the Geforce GTX 760 is a better choice, by a large margin. (explain)

Geforce GTX 760		31360 Mpixels/sec
GeForce GT 130		8000 Mpixels/sec
	Difference: 23360 (292%)

Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.

Specifications

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface within a second. It is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory clock speed. In the case of DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the video card can possibly record to its local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.
